Univision expands distribution agreement with BounceTV

Univision Television Group will carry Bounce TV as a multicast channel on its stations in five major markets and has renewed Univision’s distribution of the nation’s first-ever broadcast television network for African Americans as a multicast channel in seven markets as part of a multi-year deal.
 
Univision will air Bounce TV in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Orlando and Phoenix in 2015, building on the existing distribution in San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Denver, Sacramento, Raleigh and Tampa. Bounce TV has now completed multi-year renewals with all their affiliates.
 
“Bounce TV has been a hit for our stations. It is enormously popular with viewers and advertisers and has proven to be a good companion network for Univision,” commented Kevin Cuddihy, president, Univision Television Group.  “We are looking forward to expanding our successful relationship to more markets.”
 
“Univision has been a terrific partner and with Bounce TV’s previous distribution agreements in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Orlando and Phoenix expiring, we were thrilled when they wanted to add those markets as well,” commented Jeffrey Wolf, executive vice president of distribution, Bounce TV.  “Our renewal and market expansion with Univision will ensure that the leading over the air broadcaster targeting the Hispanic viewer and the only over the air network targeting African Americans are side by side for many years to come.”
